IR Awards 2024 aims to acknowledge and celebrate the achievements of listed companies with the best IR practices in 2024. Over the past 14 years, the program has witnessed an increasing emphasis on IR activities among Vietnamese enterprises. This is evident in the comprehensive survey of information disclosure practices on both stock exchanges in the past year, with up to 60% of companies meeting the information disclosure standards, a significant increase from the 50% rate of the previous three consecutive years and the highest rate ever recorded.
In the next round, companies must meet quantitative criteria related to IR activities, corporate governance, and financial transparency to be nominated for the IR Awards and advance to the final round.
The final round involves a voting process for the IR Awards, conducted separately for two categories: Favorite by Investors and Appreciated by Financial Institutions. The voting is organized according to four market capitalization groups: Financial Large Cap, Non-Financial Large Cap, Mid Cap, and Small Cap.
For the Favorite by Investors category, investors cast their votes online through the program’s voting system. The public voting criteria revolve around three pillars: transparent business operations, effective IR activities targeting the public, and an efficient leadership that safeguards shareholders’ rights.
The Appreciated by Financial Institutions category is evaluated through a confidential scoring process. The evaluation criteria comprise seven pillars: information disclosure quality, IR website, financial communications, corporate governance and IR strategy, IR events, IR practices toward financial institutions, and equity issuance.
36 financial institutions served as members of the IR Awards 2024 Voting Council, contributing their expertise to the evaluation process.

Over 14 seasons of recognition, the IR Awards program has established itself as a trusted platform that celebrates the achievements of outstanding enterprises in investor relations. It serves as a benchmark for affirming the right direction in corporate governance strategies and the superior effectiveness of investor relations practices. This is acknowledged by both the buy-side and sell-side of the capital market, as evidenced by the consensus in voting from financial institutions and the broader investing community.
